Trouble is looming at the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) board following a standoff over the recruitment of a Director of Public Affairs at the Universal Service Fund (USF).

This comes after a section of officials sitting on an interview panel at the authority on Friday raised alarm over what they describe as intimidation and harassment by senior government-linked persons.
